Primate Elijah Ayodele predicts APC losses in key northern states ahead of Nigeria's 2027 election

Elijah Ayodele, the Primate of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, issued a statement warning that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is unlikely to win all the northern states in Nigeria’s 2027 elections. Citing technology as a complicating factor, he listed the states he believes could slip from APC control: Sokoto, Benue, Plateau, Kano, Kaduna, Yobe, Adamawa, Niger and Nasarawa, urging governors to work “extraordinarily hard” to retain them.

Ayodele is a long‑standing figure whose election prophecies attract widespread attention in Nigeria. His past predictions have covered previous presidential contests, including a claim about the United States election that returned Donald Trump. The current forecasts have heightened public interest as voters, politicians and analysts anticipate his commentary on the upcoming vote.
